I'm

When I had my first out-of-body experience I first did the wake up back to bed routine, where you wake up after a few hours sleep and then try for an OBE. The idea being that you aren’t as tired and then being able to stay aware while the body falls asleep is easier. I then tried to keep my mind awake while my body went to sleep. I was successful and had my first out-of-body experience….wow! This technique suited me at the time as I would normally get woken up during the night a few times as I had young kids and a snoring husband, so I wasn’t actually setting an alarm clock to wake up as some people might do.

I started to use this technique after my first OBE so I would keep my experiences going, believe me after the first one I didn’t want it to be a one off. After a while of programming the following technique into my subconscious often I would automatically find myself in the astral version of my chosen place of visualisation. It became my astral base camp. This technique involves taking some time each day to visualise and
